Discover how one collaborative question can unlock better, faster results with ChatGPT — no expert skills required.

I had to create the perfect prompt every time in my early days of using AI. I’d sit there, fingers hovering over the keyboard, trying to phrase my request just right to get the output I wanted. Sound familiar?

I’ve learned that the magic isn’t in having all the answers upfront. It’s in starting a conversation.

You don’t need the perfect prompt — just the right approach. Here’s how to turn ChatGPT into your most intuitive creative partner

The Real Challenge: Knowing What to Ask

I used to think I needed a swipe file of advanced prompts or formulas. But what works is starting with a simple, collaborative question:

“[ Write your goal/request/plan ] What information do you need from me to get started?”

Simple ChatGPT Prompts, Better Results

Let’s say I wanted to create a website mockup for a new project. But instead of a vague prompt like “Make me a website,” I tried:

Prompt: “How should I collaborate with you to generate a website mockup? What information do you need from me to get started?”

ChatGPT will ask thoughtful follow-up questions:

If you have a clear plan, you can answer the questions one by one. Alternatively, you can also ask ChatGPT to give you the best suggestion based on some information.

Side note: One of my favorite thing about ChatGPT is that it always reply in a sweet way like you are talking to a human instead of a ice cold robot.

With that information, it generated a detailed plan and suggestion for my mindful website that matched my vision. It’s just like working with a lightning-fast (and surprisingly intuitive) design partner.

With this, I go on asking it to code me the website

This is a preview it gives me, and then I continue to ask it to create a mockup based on the framework, which is shown on the right.

Again, start with a simple line and then make edit as you progress

Continue talking with your creative partner, and this is a mockup I got at the end.

It’s just like working with a creative partner, with conversations to slowly achieve what you need.

Something that once felt heavy became manageable.

Why This Works: Simple Prompts, Better Results

I used to think I needed a collection of expert-level prompts or magic formulas to get good results. But what works is this.

✨ Start with a curious, collaborative question.

Instead of directing the AI, you’re inviting it to work with you — just like a teammate. Start with a context and then invite AI to lead you.

When you frame your request this way, you shift from feeling stuck to moving forward — without pressure to get it perfect.

👉🏻 Try:

“[ Write your goal/request/plan ] + one of the question below

“What do you need from me to get started?”
“What would be the best approach based on this idea?”
“Can you help me think through this step-by-step?”
“What questions should I be asking about this?”
“Can you walk me through the process like I’m new to this?”

It’s like briefing a real teammate. You don’t need to say it perfectly — you just need to start.

Another example:

I had a new business idea I was excited about, but writing a full business plan felt overwhelming. I wasn’t sure where to begin, what format to use, or how detailed it needed to be.

So, instead of trying to craft the perfect request, I asked:

“What do you need from me to help create a business plan for my idea?”

Have a try!

Benefits of This Approach

Saves Time: Skip the guesswork and prompt tweaking.
Reduces Overwhelm: You don’t have to know everything up front.
Boosts Creativity: You’re co-creating instead of commanding.

Final Thoughts

AI isn’t just a tool — it can be a creative partner if you treat it like one. By asking open-ended, collaborative questions, you make the process smoother, faster, and more enjoyable.

So whether you’re planning a business, designing a brand, or launching your next big idea, don’t wait for the perfect prompt.

Start with a simple question, and let the conversation unfold.

The real magic begins when you stop trying to get it “just right” — and simply start. Treat AI like a collaborator; you’ll be surprised by how much easier (and more fun) the process becomes.

Now go ahead — ask your next question.
